Clean and Drinking Water
Replace aging pipe, upgrade treatment and protect the water your community depends on. RIIB finances drinking water and clean water projects built for decades of service.
Rhode Island Infrastructure Bank
Rhode Island's Resilience Engine.
We finance and build resilient water, sewer and infrastructure across Rhode Island. If you lead finance or public works, this is where you find the program, see the proof and start your application.
Proof, not promises.
Low-cost capital that gets projects built.
We exist to finance the infrastructure Rhode Island cannot afford to delay. Cities, towns and utilities come to us for capital structured for the long life of the asset, not the short life of an election cycle. Every dollar is deployed against a real project with a real outcome, and every commitment is built to be defended to leadership and auditors alike.
Rhode Island's dedicated infrastructure finance authority
We finance resilient water, sewer and infrastructure across Rhode Island, giving public works and finance leaders a single, accountable source for project capital.
Water. Sewer. Resilient infrastructure.
Our work centers on the systems Rhode Island depends on every day: clean water, modern sewer capacity and infrastructure built to withstand what comes next.
Statewide initiative
Resilient Rhody
Resilience is infrastructure.
RIIB helps cities and towns turn flood, stormwater, coastal and climate risk into funded work: workshops, grants, low interest capital and an accountable path from local hazard to built project.

Statewide reach.
Resilience that reaches every corner of the state.
From coastal towns facing rising water to inland cities replacing century-old pipe, we put capital to work in communities across Rhode Island. We do not serve one region or one project type. We serve the state, and we structure financing so the smallest municipality and the largest utility can both move forward with confidence.
